COMMENTS
The enclosing circle differs from the circumcircle by limiting the radius to (longest side)/2 for obtuse triangles, i.e., those with i^2 + j^2 < k^2.
EXAMPLE
The list of radii of the n-th enclosing circle, rounded to 10^-4, starts: {0.57735, 1.0328, 1.1547, 1.5000, 1.5213, 1.5910, 1.7321, 2.0000, 2.0125, 2.0158, 2.0656, 2.1574, 2.3094, 2.5000, 2.5000, 2.5000, 2.5126, 2.5516, 2.5621, 2.6207, 2.7277, 2.8868, 3.0000, 3.0000, 3.0000, 3.0000, 3.0105, ...}.
a(1) = 1: 1 circle (R = 0.57735) with R <= 1,
a(2) = 8: a(1) + 7 circles (R = 1.0328, 1.1547, 1.5000, 1.5213, 1.5910, 1.7321, 2.0000) with 1 < R <= 2,
a(3) = 26: a(2) + 18 circles (R = 2.0125, 2.0158, 2.0656, 2.1574, 2.3094, 2.5000, 2.5000, 2.5000, 2.5126, 2.5516, 2.5621, 2.6207, 2.7277, 2.8868, 3.0000, 3.0000, 3.0000, 3.0000) with 2 < R <= 3.
